CASCARONES UPDATE

For those of you just dye-ing to hear, we're now up to 3 dozen eggshells, all rinsed out, dried up, and ready to be dressed up for Easter. And no, it's not nearly what we've done in the past (in 2005, for instance, we had a record 10 dozen to dye, fill, hide, and crack. Yes, people, that's right -- 120 eggs -- with 2-year-olds! Let's just say, it was a rough winter that year.)

Anyway, many thanks to everyone who sent us suggestions for egg-dishes. We're now well on our way to a successful cascaron-making session this Saturday.

For those of you still wanting to try to make your own, here's a basic recipe from Recipe Zaar.

And for those of you thinking that sounds like way too much work, you can still buy them and have them shipped before Easter (or, apparently, any old holiday) from GraciesEggies.
